Called By Christ To Be ONE: Sign of the Times: More than 500 Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Reported in Europe in 2021

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Sign of the Times: More than 500 Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Reported in Europe in 2021

Read Time: 2 Minutes 15 Seconds

More than 500 anti-Christian hate crimes were perpetrated across Europe in 2021, according to a new report.

While it was a significant decrease from the almost 1,000 such crimes reported in 2020, the ongoing anti-Christian bias in several countries has led many Christians to keep quiet about their faith.

The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe (OIDAC), a non-government watchdog, recently released its 2021 Annual Report, citing known cases of abuse and discrimination against Christians in Europe last year.

Among the report's key findings:

More than 500 anti-Christian hate crimes occurred last year, but the actual number is probably higher due to limited reporting.
Anti-Christian hate crimes occurred in 19 European countries. There were 14 crimes of physical assault and four Christians were murdered for their faith.
Confirmation of the increasing self-censorship by Christians, resulting in what is termed a "chilling effect."
Christians from various denominations were subject to negative stereotyping and insensitivity by the media and political groups. This trend emerged particularly in relation to Catholics in Spain.
Christian-led organizations were banned from social media platforms for expressing dissenting beliefs, while insult and violent
speech against Christians were permitted on the same platforms.
Ambiguously-worded "hate speech" laws and public order legislation have undermined the right to Freedom of Speech, leading to several unjustified arrests of street preachers, mainly in the UK.

"Due to the finite resources and the general underreporting of hate crimes, we can reasonably maintain that the actual number of cases is much higher," OIDAC's 65-page report noted. "There is a reasonable probability for higher dark numbers, due to limited reporting on anti-Christian hate crimes, the 'chilling effect' among victims, and lack of media coverage."

France had the highest number of anti-Christian hate crimes documented by OIDAC at 124, while the national police reported 857. This was followed by Germany with 112, Italy 92, Poland 60, UK 40, Spain 30, Austria 15, Belgium 10, Ireland and Switzerland also had seven.

According to the report, an average of two Christian sites (places of worship or cemeteries) are attacked every day, and the total number of direct attacks on individuals rose from 42 in 2019 to 66 in 2021, which includes 12 attacks involving physical violence in France.

France and Germany remain the countries with the highest number of hate crimes in recent years, followed by Italy, Poland, the UK and Spain.

Overall, there was an almost 53% drop in reported hate crimes against Christians, down from 981 reported in 2020 to 519 last year with vandalism (graffiti, damage to property and desecration) being the most prominent (around 300). The second most frequent crime (around 80 cases) is the theft of offerings, religious objects, consecrated hosts and church equipment.

Approximately 60 arson attacks or intended arson of church buildings also occurred last year.
